I had an interesting situation today: resolving a merge conflict required modification in other files that were not themselves conflicting.
I just realized that rerere does not remember any changes to these additional files -- only changes to the conflicting files. This makes the end result of rerere obviously incorrect in this situation. So my questions are: 1) Is this a known limitation or is there a reason rerere works in this manner? 1b) If it is a limitation/bug, what would be needed to fix it? With some guidance, I might be able to submit a patch... 2) In the meantime, is there a way I can identify these cases, without which I cannot really trust rerere is doing the right thing?
